Week 1 of the 2017 NFL season has finally arrived! Enough offseason stories of players in the best shape of their life and preseason performances that consist of almost no snaps from the actual starters. The last two season I have written a weekly Offensive Tendencies column for the NFL DFS season. Last year a…
Time for the final Offensive Tendencies article for the NFL season. It has been a fun season with some great calls and of course some misses but I hope you have enjoyed reading the column as much as I have enjoyed writing it. So, for this weekend’s Divisional round I will once again be utilizing…
Time for the Playoff Edition of the Offensive Tendencies article. With only four games in the Wild Card round, the gaps to find increased opportunities is very limited. So, I will once again be utilizing the “Hot Sheet” style that I used in Week 17, including some analysis of each game. Also, when it comes…
Week 17! Hard to believe it is already the last week of the NFL regular season. While Week 17 in season long fantasy leagues is an absolute “no-no” in my book, it is one of my favorite weeks of the NFL season for DFS. It is the most unpredictable week of the season, including Week…
For a week where there are 11 divisional games and only three games with a favorite of a touchdown or more, there were still quite a few increased opportunities that presented themselves this week. Week 16 is spread out over four different days during the Christmas season including the main slate taking place on Christmas…
Week 15 has an odd feel to it between cold weather games, divisional games and an inordinate number of games with a low Vegas total. All of this makes finding increased opportunities difficult and could make this a low scoring week in fantasy. I have a feeling that this week could be all about the…
Week 13 went well with my Top Plays for the week finishing in first place out of 22 experts graded in our NFL Week 13 Expert Grading Recap article. I will look to try to build on that success in Week 14 with a full slate of 16 games as we have finally cleared all…
I am flipping back to my typical Offensive Tendencies analysis this week after doing the “Hot Sheet” on a busy Thanksgiving week last week. The Hot Sheet did a good job of helping identify strong plays as I finished 8th in our NFL Expert Grading last week. I may look to either incorporate the Hot…
Due to time constraints with the Thanksgiving holiday, I am going with a different, abbreviated format for the “Offensive Tendencies” this week. It is a snapshot of a tool I created that I like to call the “Hot Sheet”. The charts below show the rating for each position per team based on each team’s own…
What a difference a week makes. After last week where only three games had a favorite of more than four points, this week features eight games with favorites of at least six points. Bigger Vegas lines lead to more teams relying more on the run to protect a lead and the pass to play catch…
Week 10 should be an interesting week with only three games that have a favorite of more than four points. Due to the tight lines finding significantly increased opportunities was a challenge this week but there are still some matchups that helped propel certain players into a good spot to take advantage including a few…
I had a few strong picks last week especially with my “sneaky shootout” call for the Jets/Browns game including Matt Forte. This week was a little harder to read without too many significant increased opportunities presenting themselves. It might be a week to focus on the few games with high Vegas point totals such as…
